Agent-Based Approach to Simulating Mobility as a Service

Abstract

As a result of the changing transportation landscape, Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) was developed to be a streamlined operator of emerging on-demand transportation services and traditional modes of transport. However, much of MaaS’s impact on enduser’s activities and travel patterns remain unknown and require further investigation. Due to its complex nature, a tool is necessary to help us reliably quantify and evaluate the broader impacts of MaaS. To this end, we introduce MaaS into the activitybased, agent-based travel simulation platform: SimMobility. Prioritizing flexibility and compatibility with different cities, we provide a generic implementation on which users can define configurations according to desired scenarios.
